Hideaways.com Reveals Romantic, Leap-Year-Inspired, Destination-Wedding Venues

02-20-2008


It's Leap Year, Lady; Pick Your Husband . . .
AND Pick Your Place to Get Hitched

Hideaways.com Reveals Romantic, Leap-Year-Inspired, Destination-Wedding Venues

Portsmouth, NH--(February 2008)--Attention ladies: Leap Year is your chance to pop the question. "According to folklore, women propose to men on February 29th," says Mike Thiel, Founder and President of the Hideaways Aficionado® Club. "It's called 'The Ladies' Privilege.' And since destination weddings are all the rage, we suggest you take it a step further by proposing marriage and the place where you'd most like to tie the knot."

Mike has several destination-wedding venues in mind, from a Tuscan villa to an entire island in the Caribbean. "My team and I travel in search of unknown places with that special something," says Mike. "Occasionally, we uncover an exceptional lodging and venue that's as unforgettable as true love itself."

Hideaways.com: Leap-Year-Inspired Destination-Wedding Venues

Cabo Azul Resort & Spa, Los Cabos, Mexico--You'll be on an idyllic stretch of beach, but it's pure luxury that's coming at you in waves as you and your loved ones indulge in pampering and fun-in-the-sun pursuits at this all-villa resort, perfectly positioned on 12 waterfront acres.

Casa Velas Hotel Boutique, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (pictured)--With myriad offerings best described as "enchanting"--like an adults-only setting and suites with private plunge pools--this all-inclusive resort is surely where Cinderella herself would choose to exchange away-from-the-castle vows.

Guana Island, Guana Island, BVI--For the ultimate indulgence, rent the entire island so nearly every face you see is a loving friend or family member. And when you want some alone time for two, escape to your private North Beach Cottage and its own secret stretch of beach.

Willows Lodge, Woodinville, Washington--You love each other and you love great wine, so tie the knot in wine country. This cozy yet luxurious lodge is mere steps from two of Washington's best wineries, two award-winning restaurants, and your own soaking tub for two.

Litchfield Plantation, Pawley's Island, South Carolina--Begin your life together on a 600-acre estate that speaks of gracious and genteel Southern living. Moss-draped oaks lead you to the striking manor house, where everything you could want is within reach (including each other).

Blue Palace Resort & Spa, Crete, Greece (pictured)--Your loved ones will certainly love their bungalow, suite, or villa (many with infinity pools; all with sea views), and the two of you will adore the Grand Villa, with its own Jacuzzi®, sauna, indoor/outdoor pools, and massage area.

Villa Mangiacane, Florence, Italy--All the dolce temptations of Florence are right outside your doorstep, but you may not wish to leave the aristocratic aerie of your 17th-century rose-colored villa. During your reception, be sure to toast your new marriage with the villa's own chianti.

Les Frenes, Avignon, France--Sequester yourself away at this 200-year-old French chateau. It's impeccably furnished, surrounded by a peaceful garden, and shares a bevy of offerings like award-winning Provençal cuisine, a heated pool, even multi-jet showers in each bath. Ooh la la.

Bovey Castle, Devon, England--This castle is truly a destination unto itself, and you and your guests will never want for anything as you enjoy its glorious accommodations, friendly staff, divine dining, 75 or so leisure pursuits/instructional programs, and even 150 cocktails in the bar.

Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort & Spa, New South Wales, Australia (pictured)--Love is in the very soul of this resort, built out of a father's adoration of his daughter. This turn-of-the-19th-century heritage home is strikingly perched at cliff's edge among two acres of manicured gardens overlooking the remarkable Blue Mountains--named for the blue mist created as rays of sunshine merge with droplets of eucalyptus oil dispersed from millions of eucalyptus trees. Your guests will never forget the experience, and you and your new spouse will have an amazing wedding album to share with your future children.

"Destination weddings are hot," says Mike. "As they grow in popularity, we encourage couples to take the plunge in an intimate, unique, personality-filled place--a hideaway, as it were, that has a lot to love."

Each romantic recommendation is a stand-out, both as a place to vacation and to get married; for more information on specific wedding options at each destination, or to plan your dream destination wedding, contact Hideaways Travel Services, toll-free, at
